What’s crazier than a birthday candle that refuses to light? Meet Lila—glitter-smeared, crown askew—racing against a magic hourglass that’s turning her party plans to pixie dust. 🕰️✨ “Three days left… WHY is the cake singing?!”

Disaster strikes: Balloons inflate into boulder-sized orbs, party hats sprout legs, and oh—that “minor” glitter tornado in the gift pile. 🎈🎂 The art? A neon riot: piñatas vomiting confetti, a frazzled Dad mid-juggling act (why is he holding a flamingo?), and Lila’s pet hedgehog sidekick, Sniff, rocketing through chaos on a runaway skateboard.

Teachers, steal this: A Brooklyn kindergarten threw a “Glitchy Birthday Week” after reading—kids “fixed” disasters like melted ice cream (solution: unicorn freezer spells). Comp titles? The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s Birthday (but less crumbs) or Mercy Watson’s Surprise Party (swap pancakes for confetti cannons).

Parents, you’ll snort at Lila’s “Emergency Dance Break” to reboot magic (spoiler: it involves the cha-cha). Watch kids gasp at the pop-up finale—a 3D cake exploding with paper sprinkles! (WARNING: Glitter infestation likely. Also, prepare for “Can we get a teleporting hedgehog??” pleas.)

No tidy morals—just glorious mess-turned-magic. And that rogue candle? Turns out, it just wanted a kazoo solo. 🎺✨
